最終,特朗普還是戴上了口罩

????????當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間11日,美國總統(tǒng)特朗普在參觀華盛頓郊外的沃爾特·里德國家軍事醫(yī)療中心時(shí),戴上了印有總統(tǒng)印章的黑色口罩,其身邊的隨行人員也都戴了口罩。
????????這是特朗普首次在疫情期間公開戴口罩。

US President Donald Trump was seen wearing a mask while visiting a military hospital near Washington, DC, on Saturday,?the first time he did so on camera since the coronavirus pandemic broke out in the country.
????????特朗普此前一直不愿意戴口罩,經(jīng)常不戴口罩出現(xiàn)在公共場所。然而,隨著疫情蔓延到共和黨選民眾多的州,特朗普近期改變了口風(fēng)。
????????在此次訪問醫(yī)院之前,特朗普在白宮的草坪上告訴記者,他探視時(shí)可能會戴上口罩?!拔艺J(rèn)為在醫(yī)院這種特殊的環(huán)境里,你要和很多士兵交談,有的還剛從手術(shù)臺上下來。所以我覺得在這戴口罩是一件很棒的事情。我從來沒有反對戴口罩,但我認(rèn)為戴口罩是看時(shí)間和場合的”。

"I'll probably have a mask," Trump told reporters ahead of his trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where he visited injured soldiers and medical workers tasked with containing the coronavirus.
"I think when you're in a hospital especially in that particular setting, where you are talking to a lot of soldiers, people that in some cases just got off the operating table," the president said. "I think it's a great thing to wear a mask. I've never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place."
自今年3月新冠疫情在美國全面暴發(fā)以來,特朗普認(rèn)為自己身體健康,頻繁的病毒檢測結(jié)果均為陰性,因此一直拒絕戴口罩。
Trump has been refusing to wear a mask himself since the pandemic broke out, citing his good health and frequent negative tests for the virus.?
????????據(jù)美國媒體報(bào)道,特朗普5月下旬視察密歇根州一家福特汽車制造廠時(shí),盡管公司事先提醒白宮,工廠有戴口罩的規(guī)定,但特朗普只在視察開始時(shí)的活動中戴了口罩,且不讓記者拍攝。他表示,不想讓媒體因?yàn)榭吹阶约捍骺谡侄_心。
Trump wore a mask behind the scene in late May during a visit to a Ford factory in Michigan. "I did wear. I had one on before," he told reporters on camera at the plant when asked why he decided not to wear a mask.
"But I didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it," Trump said, showing the reporters a mask with a presidential seal on it that he said was the one he wore.
????????6月下旬以來,隨著美國疫情越來越嚴(yán)重,來自民主、共和兩黨的多名政要敦促特朗普以身作則,向美國民眾展示戴口罩對于防止新冠病毒傳播的重要性。美國多名公共衛(wèi)生專家也一再表示,戴口罩是防止新冠病毒傳播的關(guān)鍵。
Even Republican lawmakers have advised him to do so publicly so as to curb the spread of the contagion.
????????7月初,特朗普首次表示他支持民眾都戴上口罩,“我絕對支持戴口罩,我覺得戴口罩挺好”。他稱自己有個黑色口罩,“戴上它我看起來像個獨(dú)行俠”。

????????不過,白宮拒絕強(qiáng)制要求全美民眾于疫情期間在公共場所戴口罩。據(jù)美國全國公共廣播電臺11日報(bào)道,美國已有逾20個州要求民眾在公共場所戴口罩,但疫情嚴(yán)重的亞利桑那和佛羅里達(dá)等州仍未發(fā)布這類州長令。
????????據(jù)美國約翰斯·霍普金斯大學(xué)統(tǒng)計(jì),截至美國東部時(shí)間11日傍晚,美國新冠確診病例累計(jì)超過324萬例,死亡病例超過13.4萬例。
